The Colors of Fall – Creative Projects with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

16 Oct

Let’s celebrate the colors of fall! This month the Creative Team is digging into their past projects to share favorite “Seasonal Colors” creations! Projects featuring fall colors or spooky Halloween creations are here to inspire you…

Jenny Marples is sharing this absolutely fabulous Slotted Treat Box project she made. All those zig zag stitches she did by hand! See more details here.


Mixed Media joy – Jennie Atkinson used the Mini Album Die, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set plus several thinlits die sets to create this gorgeous little book. See her tutorial video below:


Lisa Hoel used the Field Notes & Specimen Card Die to put together this photo book of fall photos taken around her home. You can see more photos and how-to here.


What a lovely banner by Pam Bray! She used patterned paper and the Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers, and Home Sweet Home die sets to create it. So clever.


Tonya Trantham used the Geometric Box Die to create a funky pumpkin for a perfect fall decoration! So cool. Find out how in her tutorial here.


News from Eileen!

Big Trip, Little Suitcase… LOTS of Craft Supplies! ✈️🎨

There’s nothing like a deadline to get things done—am I right? 😂 I leave tomorrow for a BIG trip, and suddenly my to-do list is getting checked off at record speed! Funny how that works…

And speaking of things to look forward to, look at all the fun we have coming up in November!

✨ Here’s what’s on the horizon:

  • November 10: An exciting new Eileen Hull product launch!
  • A FREE Virtual Holiday Retreat: Time to get creative together from wherever you are.
  • Our Seventh Annual Comfort & Joy Event: Can you believe it’s almost that time again?

More details are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Packing Light… or at Least Trying To! 🧳

On our last big trip, our luggage was lost for an entire WEEK, and I wore the same clothes every day. Honestly, I don’t think people really noticed! 😂 So this time, I decided to be strategic and pack fewer clothes.

Well, the space I saved by packing less clothing has been more than made up for by my craft supplies! Watercolors, stitching projects, a travel journal, and jewelry-making supplies have all made the cut so far. And who knows what inspiration might strike before I zip up that suitcase? There’s still time for a few more things to sneak in!

I’ll try to go live while I’m traveling whenever I can, so please make sure you’ve enabled notifications on my channels. That way, you’ll get an alert when I pop on!

I’m SO excited to explore Spain and Portugal for the first time. New places, new inspiration, and hopefully lots of beautiful things to see (and maybe a little shopping, too!).

Please keep your fingers crossed—and say a little prayer—for smooth travels and NO unexpected travel surprises this time! 🙏✈️

Live Video Crafting with Eileen – One Die, Two Ways

Today: Let’s Get Creative with Margaret! 🎨

Today it’s time for another live with Margaret!

👉 Watch the livestream here!

We’ll each be working with an Eileen Hull stencil of our choosing and a WILD CARD product! Sometimes it’s fun to go off script, pull out random supplies, or experiment with something you haven’t used in a while.

I find that the less pressure I put on myself, the better. Creating art is a chance to let your mind and hands wander, explore, and see where they take you—without worrying too much about how the finished project will look.

Of course, I DO want my projects to look nice! 😉 And sometimes it takes a few tries (or a few happy accidents) to get there. That’s all part of the fun!

I hope you’ll join Margaret and me to see what we come up with. Gather your favorite stencil and a wild-card supply of your own, and create along with us!

When you’re finished, share your projects in the Eileen Hull Fan Club. We love seeing what you make!

Happy creating, and I’ll see you soon—hopefully from somewhere across the pond! ❤️


In case you missed last week’s live, here’s the link to the replay! This project turned out to be one of my favorite projects I have made in a long time.

Eileen Hull Creative Team Journals to Share

24 Sep

Our overall Creative Team theme is “My Favorite Journal”. In addition, we are having some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers are having their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers are testing out Bearly Art glue. We have some more great projects to share this week:

Jennie Atkinson made this beautiful little Nature Notes journal to save photos and information as she records them around her home. She used the Mini Album Die and other Thinlits sets inside. See her video below:


Elizabeth Robinson made a bright and cheerful journal for her Grafix Arts collaboration project. It’s full of color and great mixed media details! She used the classic OG Journal Die for her base and I can spot other Thinlits Die Sets and Stencil Sets too.


Stay tuned for a flip through video next week!


Jenny Marples has a complete flip through of her gorgeous mixed media Summer Album to share with us now. It’s been a true labor of love!


Extra, Extra!

Amy Powers has gone micro mini this time! These miniature art galleries housed in rooms made using the Stacking Drawer Die are amazing. Check out her tutorial video below…


News from Eileen Hull…

Hi all – I hope you have had a great week! Our four kids came home for the interment of my mother-in-law in Arlington Cemetery. It was such an impressive ceremony – she would have loved it. We also babysat our two month old grandson and 2 year old granddaughter, had a flood in the basement with a houseful of company, then I got sick 🙂 One of those weekends… but overall great family time.

Now getting back to reality – the Garlic Festival is just days away! After a crazy weekend and a cold, I am getting back to making items to sell at the show in upstate NY. The last items on the list are leather journals, bookmarks and keychains. I’ll be mass making them today on the live! Leather is such a fascinating material to work with – hope you can join me! 


I’ll be using a variety of dies including the Notebook and Journal dies and Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits dies. I’m also pulling from my supply of leather and tools available in my Etsy shop! You know I love my matboard but leather gets better and better with age where paper eventually breaks down. 🙁

Festival time!

This week I am ramping up production for the Garlic Festival – it is one month away! I’ll be sharing a craft booth with my five siblings at the Garlic Festival in Saugerties, N.Y. coming up September 26-27th. If you live nearby, please come and say hi!

Eileen is on the Road & Greeting Card Inspiration

21 Jan

The Team this month is kicking off the year with a Card Bonanza! We always need a card or two through the year so check out our Creative Team’s greeting card inspiration through the month for birthday and other occasion cards.

Jenny Marples created this lovely floral card by cutting flowers out of fabric using the Painterly Blooms & Background die set. She then cut them apart and made mix & match layered flowers to form the wreath. Awesome! Check out her tutorial reel on Instagram.


Tonya Trantham used the Mini Album die to cut the card base for this sweet little card. She layered on various paper scraps and die cuts to complete it. Lovely! Find all the details here.


News from Eileen Hull…

Hi all, and I hope your 2026 is off to a good start! As I mentioned last week, life for the next two months has lots going on and I am allowing myself to take a break. I will not be doing two scheduled lives a week – however I do still plan on going live when my schedule allows, so please make sure to subscribe to my channels on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Click notifications so you will be notified when I do go live! 

I leave today for upstate NY to visit Mom while my sister and BIL take a break with week in the islands. I checked the weather today and looks like a big storm is coming this weekend, so hopefully the drive home is not too crazy! 

Have you seen the Monks Walk For Peace on Instagram? It is so inspiring! They are due to finish their 2300 mile walk in DC on February 11. I really wanted to see them since (we live 25 miles outside of DC) but we won’t be home in time 🙁 They are definitely worth watching… 

Get organized!

Join me and fellow YouTubers on the Cara Brandon Refresh Collaboration! We will be taking a look at our spaces as the New Year begins. Each artist will be sharing a look at their studio – clearing out and making it more efficient to work in. Each week follows a different theme; join us and follow along at home! Episodes are recorded so you can binge watch and clean along with us 🙂 Follow along and share your progress using: #craftspacerefresh2026


PROGRESS? I am still working on my studio – it’s a never ending job… I received a Michael’s gift card from my son for Christmas and I was happy to find some useful organizing carts and containers; plus there were some great deals to be had!


The ETSY SHOP is openI The Easy Cut Adhesive is back in stock along with the 1/2″ RedLiner tape and 1/4″ RedLiner tape. Debbie will be filling orders while I am away – thanks Debbie!

There are some exciting changes going on which will take a little time to put in place – please be patient. I think you are going to love them.

New Sizzix Collection from Eileen Hull! May 2025!

Inspiration from the Creative Team…

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers either finished up projects that had been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisited a project and put a new spin on it with different dies. We’re wrapping up that theme this week!

Teresita Arvelo created this cheerful little book for list making using the Notebook Die. It’s the perfect size to keep close at hand for when inspiration or need strikes! See all the pics in her post.


Sue Eldred revisited the past with this beautiful Mini Album project. She dug deep into her stash for an old K & Company patterned paper collection and used it for the album. (I loved that company too!) You can see more here.

Creative Team designers finishing more UFOs:

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers are either finishing up projects that have been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisiting a project and putting a new spin on it with different dies. This should be fun! (We’d love to see you share your UFO projects in the Fan Club too.)

Pam Bray found a blank cutout from the Display Stand Die in her stash and decided to turn it into a coffee note desk organizer. Soo cool! You can see more details about this handy make in her post.


Elizabeth Robinson also had a journal cover cut out that had languished for ages. She took her Pocket Notebook start and got to work completing it! You  can find all the detail photos here.


Jenny Marples has a flip through of this gorgeous Mini Album journal to share with us. It’s packed full of Eileen product goodness so take a moment to peruse it!

Spring project inspiration from the Creative Team

This month the Creative Team designers are being inspired by SPRING! It’s time to create projects that celebrate the new season – from spring home decor to cards and albums. Any of Eileen’s past dies and products are fair game so let’s see what projects we have to share this week…

Maggi Harding created a scrapbook page layout highlighting a recent trip she made to Antarctica. She used the Floral Pocket & Paperclips and Alphanumeric Thinlits Die Sets plus the Plate & Pattern Layered Stencil Set. So cool! 😉


Tonya Trantham dressed up a pre-made notepad with Eileen’s dies and embossing folders. This is a great gift idea (Mother’s Day is coming!) Get a closer look in her post. Dies used: Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers, and the Floral Damask Embossing Folder.


Spring of course celebrates all things green and growing! Elizabeth Robinson made this lovely nature inspired junk journal using the Mini Album Die. Each page inside is a treat so head on over to her post to see it all.
